The equation is 5s = 60.

Apply division property of equality: If a = b then .

                 (Divide each side by 5) \ \

                       (Cancel common terms)

s = 12                          (Divide: )

Check:

To check the solution, substitute s = 12 in original equation.

60 =  5(12)

60 = 60                  (Multiply: )

The statement is true.

The value of s = 12.
